This increase in incidence has led to the necessity of development of more effective screening programs, which possess the advantages of being reproducible and easily accessible, destined for the population at risk, with the purpose of establishing, as soon as possible, a positive diagnosis, allowing adequate treatment. Tumoral invasion of the peritumoral ganglia represents one of the most important negative prognostic factors, alongside perineural invasion. The 8th edition of the TNM classification imposes the histopathological examination of at least 12 lymph nodes from the resected piece to facilitate precise staging and avoid downgrading. Perineural invasion in colorectal malignancies is associated with an unfavorable evolution unlinked to the other ways of dissemination, due to the multiple molecular mechanisms. Bellis D. et al. reported an increased rate of locoregional recurrence associated with a negative 5 years prognosis, in the presence of perineural invasion, documented in 33% of the studied cases.

Posterior retroperitoneoscopy surpasses the disadvantages of the other laparoscopic approaches, being particularly useful when bilateral adrenalectomy is indicated. The aim of this study was to present the first published experience in Romania with posterior retroperitoneoscopic bilateral adrenalectomy in the treatment of bilateral pheochromocytoma. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> We report the case of a 47-years-old female referred in Urology department for surgical treatment of bilateral pheochromocytoma in the setting of MEN2A syndrome (her daughter and sister with the \"high risk\" mutation in RET gene) for which she has been actively screened. The ultrasound of thyroid gland and the significantly increased serum calcitonin were highly suggestive for medullary thyroid carcinoma. The computed tomography of chest/abdomen/pelvis revealed inhomogeneous, contrast-enhancing bilateral adrenal masses, 38/38 mm on the right and 36/26 mm on the left side, respectively. The free plasma metanephrines were significantly increased. After adequate preoperative preparation of the patient, we performed bilateral adrenalectomy using posterior retroperitoneoscopic approach, during the same procedure. <b>Results:</b> The total operative time was 90 minutes. The estimated blood losses were minimal. The postoperative surgical evolution of the patient was uneventful. Major cardiovascular and metabolic perioperative complications were prevented by anesthesia team. The lumbar drain was removed in the postoperative day 1. The pathology results reported negative surgical margins, PASS score of six on the left side and two on the right side, respectively. Three months later, the patient underwent total thyroidectomy with cervical lymph node dissection for medullary thyroid carcinoma (pT1bN0L0V0Mx). The last clinical and imaging evaluation (at 12 months postoperatively) revealed no evidence of tumour recurrence.

Its remarkable heterogeneity is a defining characteristic, contributing to both diverse patterns of disease progression and varied therapeutic responses. This review explores the evolution of breast cancer classifications, focusing on key prognostic and predictive factors. It examines traditional systems, such as the TNM staging and histological differentiation, while also incorporating modern elements like molecular subtypes, genomic alterations, and advanced diagnostic assays. By combining classical clinicopathological insights with cutting-edge molecular genetic technologies, the goal is to refine the precision of treatment strategies, ultimately advancing both our understanding and management of this complex disease. The review also emphasizes the importance of a global perspective, as achieving the primary treatment goals - prolonged survival and enhanced quality of life - requires addressing the disease in a broader, more comprehensive context. Breast cancer's complexity, driven by significant variability both across and within tumors, presents major challenges to conventional diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. However, breakthroughs in genomic research, such as molecular profiling and genetic testing, have deepened our understanding of this cancer's intricate nature. These advances have led to the identification of critical genetic alterations - including mutations in BRCA1/2, TP53, PALB2, PTEN, and PIK3CA - that profoundly impact tumor behavior, treatment efficacy, and patient prognosis. Genomic assays like Oncotype DX, MammaPrint, PROSIGNA, and EndoPredict offer valuable insights into recurrence risks and treatment choices, underscoring the growing importance of precision medicine.
